NO VERDICT YET.

The Death of Mrs. Kuttrun Doubtless
Caused by Cruelty.
Coroner Bennett has completed the exam
ination of witnesses in the inquest on the
body Of Mrs. Albert Kuttruff, Sc north Fos-
ter street. He will. however, withhold his
verdict for day or so in the hopes of gais-
ing new light, or rather additional light on
the cause of the death. There is but little
doubt in the minds of the coroner and those
conversant with the case that death was
really the result of cruelty on the part Of
the dead woman's husband and father-in-
law.
Mrs. Petit, who was a neighbor when
the family lived on north Market street, tes-
titled as to talks had with deceased, in
which she complained of acts Of cruelty on
the part of the husband and father. Mrs.
Susells Williams, who lives in the other
half of the house occupied by
the Kuttruffs on Foster street, tes-
titled the evening previous to hear
ing voices and rackets on the other
side of the partition wall. She could not
hear what was said or done, but knew that
rackets were Of frequent occurrence be
tween some of the family.
The husband himself testified that al
though his wife was expected to be con-
fined at any time, she scrubbed the floor
and did other household work on the day of
her death. Kuttruff Jr and Sr.
were both anxious to try to make
1t appear that death resulted from maIprac-
tice, but this was evidently only to shield
themselves. Drs. Grant and Studebaker.
who made the post mOrtem examination,
stated that there was an unnatural hemOr-
rhage Drs. Spalding and Seys testified
that the child, which was dead at birth, was
born prematurely and asserted that death
had resulted from causes removed from
child birth.
The remains of Mrs. Kuttruff will be
taken to Bloomyille, near Tiffin. tonight,
for burial

The Only Way to Conquer Dyspepsia.

1t is perfectly preposterous to introduce
pepsin and other artificial solvents into the
stomach, in the expectation that they will
assist digestion by acting on the food itself.
They will not. Nor is it possible thus to
overcome dyspepsia. The only way to con-
quer that disorder. and prevent the numer-
Gus diseases and disabilities which il as
suredIy provokes, is to renew the activity
of gastric action by Strengthening the ston-
ach. HOstetter's Stomach Bitters eradi
dates the most lnveterate forms of indiges-
tion by restoring vitality TO the alimentary
organs, and those which are tributary to
them. The liver, the bowels, the kidneys
and the nerves, no less than the stomach,
experience the invig0rative effects of that
standard tonic, which possesses Alternative
proprerties that greatly enhance its beue-
ticiaI influence, and give permanence to
its effects which they would not otherwise
possess.

Joshua Sharpe. the Old gentleman who
has been suffering so intensely from ply.
sician's probable mistake, became so
much worse yesterday afternoon that DR..
Russell concluded to amputate the leg last
night instead of today, as previously calcu-
lated upon. Drs. Miranda and Austin, and
NJ. NJ. Morrow of Harmony, were called on
to assist and the operation was successfully
performed. The amputation had to be
made above the knee, and from this fact
and age of the patient-S1 years-but little
hope is entertained as to his recovery The
foot, when seen this morning in the office
of the principal surgeon. presented sorry
looking appearance. The great toe had
become entirely rotten. and the stencil
arising from it had become well-nigh I'M
bearable before the operation was per-
formed. The foot was completely dead up
to the ankle.

written out by the physician who is re-
sponsible for the unfortunate affair. but
whose name is withheld for the present,
can be given in evidence If the case ever
comes up for trial. as is threatened. The
carbOlic acid was at least twelve times as

Miss Martha Steele entertained about
twelve couples of her young friends in
very charming manner last Monday even
ing at the residence of her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Marshfeld Steele, west Main

way and was called by the appropriate,
though not very lucid name of rainbow
party" The novelty consisted Of the fol
lowing, towit: The gentlemen's dress
ing-roOm was supplied with variety Of rib
bon OF different colorS, the ladies' dressing
room, containing a number of dainty aprons
one for each lady guest. Each gentleman
selected ribbon, and each girl dOnned an
apron. COl0rS were then compared, and
the guests divided into the couples by the
matching of the ribbons. The lady who
wore the apron corresponding to gentle
mans ribbon was his partner for the even
ing, and he was required TO hem the apron
for her, on the spot. This provision brought
out some paraly zng masculine art-needie-
work, the boys going about it with an
awkwSrdness In most cases that would
have done or, dit to eli Gus sea-lion. FIRST
blood was declared for the boys side in
less than no time. There were prizes for
the best and worst male fancy-wOrB. and
when the work was finally accomplished
and the fearful and wonderful results
donned by the ladies', they were awarded
as follows: First prize for running" mot
